Englnd have rallied well.
France attack well, England recovers well
Amazing how that try kicked the frogs back into gear again!!!
Sjoe!
Care charges down a kick…knocks after he kicked forward… could have been another try
Interesting 29 minutes to go.
Farrell kicks into the corner again… clever tactics
Some excellent work being done by the English forwards
England certainly is a different animal now!
Drop goal by Care… over!
England 21 / 16 France
It’s those forwards again!!!
I need a converted France try now… hahaha
Farrell having some good moments too. Shame about the support
17 Minutes to go… France now desperately attacking
England hard on attack again, with a lineout 5m out
Good England, but still support lacking
France steal this vital lineout
Excellent opportunity spurned
Jack Nowell’s had a good game
Seems Arno Botha injured his knee seriously in Polokwane… ai tog!
12 Minutes to go in the match
France scrum penalty… easy shot at goal
Wow, this games swinging from one side to the other. Suddenly France looking the better side again
England 21 / 19 France
Now England apply the pressure again
Farrell’s crocked
